Croeso. Welcome to Discover Wales.

If you’ve used wales.org, you know it as the ultimate directory for planning a trip to Wales.

This Substack is the insider’s club — where 1,400+ readers go deeper. The quiet corners, the forgotten history, the rugged places that don’t make the brochures.

Here’s what you get:

The Sunday Dispatch (free)

A story in your inbox every Sunday evening, think ancient Welsh proverbs, lost local histories, secret coastal paths and the culture that makes this country unlike anywhere else.

The Wednesday Guides (£5/month).

The full archive of practical travel intel: the 135-mile Welsh Camino itinerary, my hidden Michelin list, the private master list of remote cottage stays. Built for people who actually book the trip.

Notes.

Quick takes between the long-form pieces, it could be a Welsh proverb worth knowing, a fragment of history, a language note, a place to add to your list. The fastest way to chat with me and other readers.

Your welcome gift

Join the free list and you’ll get my 2026 Wales Road Trip Planner - a step-by-step PDF itinerary covering five hand-picked routes, 50+ stops, and exactly when to go where. Sent the moment you sign up.

Whether you’re planning next summer or just want a weekly dose of Welsh escapism, you’re in the right place.

Hwyl am y tro,
